We keep voting in slim margins. If we want an effective government we actually need to fill it with enough people who will work together.
Biden barely had the senate, including independents and 2 relatively conservative dems. The house was then lost and the house then did nothing productive.
The democrats are not a unified block because we have 2 parties for way too many views.
We need to overhaul the system to actually break the 2 party hold and that can unfortunately only happen if you vote in enough people who actually take up issues like removing first past the post, the electoral college, and trying to make mail in ballots easier, pushing for ranked choice voting so people could actually vote for candidates in the order of who they actually like the most.
Luckily some of this can be done state by state so keep track of local politics. Your state politicians can also make this better.
Await is usually there either because the performance doesn’t matter and the legibility is much higher with it, and/or because there are a series of asynchronous actions that depend on each other and await lets you write them as if they are sync because related to each other they are.
